They took a series known for its free-form, open-ended stealth gameplay and stripped it down to the most barebones, dumbed-down, linear corridor affair imaginable. The combat was always the worst part of any Tenchu game and reaches its nadir here with gimmicky wagglan controls. And, of course, no camera control whatsoever. Even the music was terrible. Not hard to see why the series died after this game, but it's sad to see a once iconic series go out with such a pathetic whimper.
